Summary
This study examines how microplastics distribute through soil environments and alter the composition and function of microbial communities. The presence of microplastics disrupts key ecosystem processes by shifting microbial diversity and metabolic activity. These changes have downstream consequences for soil health, nutrient cycling, and overall ecosystem function.
